Misha Aguilar - Fractional CRO & Strategic Advisor
In this episode of Fractional Hustle, Stephen Maher sits down with Misha Aguilar, founder of Aguilar Advisory & Consulting. Misha is an expert in SaaS and high-ticket sales, revenue strategy, and leadership development. She shares her journey from a stable corporate sales career to launching her own consulting business—driven by the need for greater control, impact, and financial security after an unexpected layoff.
Stephen and Misha dive into:
- The realities of leaving the 9-5 for consulting and how to build a successful business
- Why company culture isn’t about perks like unlimited PTO, but about leadership and psychological safety
- The CORE framework (Culture, Operations, Revenue, Efficiency) for optimizing businesses
- How to create high-performing sales teams through soft skills, motivation, and strategic hiring
- The role of sustainable revenue growth and ensuring departments work in tandem
- The power of communication in breaking down silos and aligning leadership with execution
Misha also highlights the importance of balance—between work, family, and personal well-being—as a key factor in long-term success as a consultant and leader.
